Cupping can be a fun and versatile type of play. Fire cupping can be exciting, put on a good show and be an interesting form of sensation play. Cups can be used dry or wet – where the skin is pierced and blood is drawn up into the cup. Bonus: the bottom often ends up looking like they lost a fight with a giant squid/octopus!
We will cover the difference between cupping for kink vs traditional medicine, safety, basic techniques with fire cups as well as a few alternatives if fire isn’t your thing (or you’re somewhere that fire is prohibited). We will discuss where to buy quality cups and what to avoid. Finally, we will go over what to expect afterwards and how to do cup-specific aftercare.
Bio:
Morgan Thorne has been practising BDSM all her adult life. She got an introduction to kink through the Queer community in the early 1990s and knew she had found ‘her people’.
Morgan has also spent a decade working as a Professional Dominant, which has allowed her to expand her skills as both a Top and a Dominant. Morgan has been offering workshops, lectures and BDSM training for a number of years as well. She has a successful Youtube channel where she educates about D/s relationships, BDSM basics and various kinky skills.
She is the author of two successful books about BDSM, including “Exploring BDSM: A Workbook for Couples (or More!) Discovering Kink“. A follow-up book is expected soon.
Morgan identifies as both a Sadist and a Dominant. She enjoys playing with a variety of people of all orientations/genders/identities. BDSM is an integral part of her personal, romantic relationships. Morgan is both asexual and pan-romantic.
Prior to her work as a Professional Dominant, Morgan worked in health care. This has allowed her to gain a more thorough understanding of health and safety concerns in kink. She retired due to an injury that lead to chronic pain and disability. It also spurred her interest in medical play, a way to continue to use the skills she learned in health care and to find comfort in the loss of a much-loved career.
Morgan has been active in various forms of activism, including LGBTQIA rights and sex worker rights. She is a strong advocate for equality and the human rights of all people.
